The sun also sets

Ah how often have I heard the slogans of idealism over the last half century of my political awareness? Power to the people! The revolution is here! How many of these kids, ten, twenty years from now, will be working in banks?

The trouble with history is that it's boring because it's so repetitive.

All the same, I wish the people of Iran well but fear the model is Hungary, with a ton of theocratic force waiting in the wings to crush the protesters at any cost -- while the world watches and, of course, complains.

Wouldn't it be nice if history didn't repeat itself for a change?
